Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Using a mobile device in any of the following ways will reflect negatively upon you: talking loudly in open offices or public places, ignoring privacy concerns by using your phone's camera without permission, or using your device in restrooms and other inappropriate places. Texting during a meal or conversation and allowing incoming calls to interrupt meetings or discussions will also cast doubt on your professionalism.
